ABOUT ME
I have over 25 years of experience as a clinical psychologist working with correctional systems, local organizations, courts, and individual clients to support and improve mental and behavioral health.
I believe that everyone, at the individual and organizational level, can find the best within themselves through insight, engagement, and authenticity. I can help you or your organization move toward stability and sustainable change for the better.
